Chapter 5: Chapter 5
They had already checked the cameras. However, right when the first punch was thrown the noodles in Syl's hands flew straight into the camera and damaged it.
Manabu pulled up the video in front of everyone and showed them this scene.
"Woah! What are the odds!" Syl laughed.
"They beat us up right after this! We demand compensations!" One of the three senpai's said.
"Wha! We did nothing! We didn't throw a single punch!" Syl cried out.
"That's bullshit! Look at us! How do you explain our injuries?!"
"Then prove it! For all I know you could have fallen down the stairs!" Syl replied.
"Enough." Manabu said in a low voice and instantly commanded the room.
He turned to Syl.
"How do you explain their injuries? There was clearly an altercation."
"I already told you. They beat me up. We didn't throw a single punch. I don't know how they got injured."
Manabu turned to the other three.
"Is this true?"
"NO! They beat us up!"
Manabu sighed. This was going nowhere.
After a moment of silence Syl cut in.
"Excuse me. I would like compensation."
Everyone was silent and looked at him. Manabu and Chashibara were looking at him suspiciously but also with a slight smirk.
"WHAT?!" The senpai shouted.
"I would like compensation for being beat up."
"What bullshit!"
"We didn't do a thing to you and were one sidedly beaten up. I would like either compensation or expulsion." Syl said calmly.
"It wasn't one sided!"
"Then prove it. The camera doesn't lie. You were the one who punched me first either way. Even if you can prove it then I would still like compensation for you starting a fight with your kouhai for no reason."
"No reason?! You said that all the second years were sucking Nagumo's dick?!"
At this moment Manabu's eyes flashed. He also slightly smiled.
"Sujin is right. You three started a fight with your kouhai's. Either way you won't go unpunished." Manabu added.
The three started to sweat.
"However, if you can prove that you did get beat up by the first years. It will be much more lenient."
"How?! The camera broke!"
Syl knocked on his head.
"My bad!"
"You bastard! You did it on purpose!"
"No wayyy. How could I have known you would punch me and purposely take out the camera? Student council president. Do you hear this? I think they fell down the stairs too hard and need to go to the nurse."
At this point Sudo nearly fell to the floor laughing. "Pfft~ HAHAHA!"
Manabu ignored Syl.
The three senpai's nearly jumped out of their seats.
"Do you three have any proof against his claims?" Manabu asked.
"... no."
"Then I'll have to concede to you either paying reparations to Syl or facing punishment, possibly explution. What would you like to be your compensation?"
Syl thought for a moment.
"What are the options?"
"There are many. Too many to list. Anything you want can be used as long as both parties agree."
Syl continued to think.
"What will help my class the most?" He asked. He was just trying to find a way to either gain class points or get Sudo and Ayanokoji to learn what they were so he could tell the rest of the class.
Manabu looked at Syl intently.
Syl sat there with an innocent smile.
"... Class points." Manabu said.
"What's that?" Syl asked with the same smile.
"Class points are points the benefit your whole class. That's all I can say."
"Are they related to private points?" Syl asked.
"I can't tell you that."
"Then I would like two things for compensation."
"And what is that?"
"I would like to be able to ask my senpai's 3 questions. Then I would like to decided on the second one after that."
Manabu shifted his gaze to the other three.
"Is this acceptable?"
They reluctantly nodded their heads.
"Then first off. What are class points?" Syl asked.
"What? Didn't you just hear that we can't tell you?" One of the older students scoffed at his idiocy.
"Then you're gonna get expelled. Right Horikita senpai?" Syl asked.
Manabu neither confirmed nor denied. "You guys can't break your promise." Was all he said.
However this scared the other students into instantly talking.
"Uh class points are what you get for this school they involve everything they are super important and…"
"Please slow down. What exactly are they? And Why are they important?" Syl cut in.
"Right. Um. Class points are what determine the rank of your class. From class A until class D whoever has the most is class A and whoever has the least is class D. They are important because the number of class points you have x100 is the amount of private points your receive every month."
"Is that so? Then what's so important about class A?"
"Only class A is allowed the privilege of doing anything they want after graduation; the other three classes are not given the same treatment."
"Hmmm. I see."
Syl turned to Ayanokoji and Sudo. "Do you guys have anything to ask for the last question?"
Sudo was stunned with all the new information and was still processing everything.
Ayanokoji just looked at Syl. "Who's Nagumo?"
Syl smiled. "The leader of the second years."
"How do you know that?"
"Simple." Syl whispered to Ayanokoji so the others in the room wouldn't hear. "I just watched people. You can learn a lot by seeing other peoples reactions or piecing together small bits of information. I just heard a few second years talking about what a pain in the ass Nagumo is. Then I heard someone else say that he was a good boss for the second years and figured that he was the leader. I might not be the smartest or most athletic, but I do have one skill I'm confident in. I can pick up on certain nuances well and read people fairly well."
Ayanokoji nodded. "Then what's your read on me?"
Syl smiled. "You are… a normal highschool student."
Ayanokoji was shocked!
He had a crazy expression on his face! It was the same as always! He had no reaction!
Ayanokoji was wondering weather to tell Syl that he was horrible at reading people because Ayanokoji was anything but a normal student or weather he should be proud of himself for fooling someone into believing he was normal.
"Anyway. What do you want to ask?" Syl asked.
Ayanokoji looked at Manabu. "Can I ask you something instead?"
Manabu looked at him. "You can but I won't promise an answer."
"Do you know Horikita Suzune?" Ayanokoji wasted no time asking his question.
Manabu was silent for a few moments before he responded.
"She is my sister."
"I see."
"..."
The room went quiet.
Syl clapped his hand together. "Well then, can I get some class points from you three?"
"What?! NO! Nagumo would kill us!" they cowered at the idea.
Syl had a serious expression on his face as he was deep in thought.
Then he turned to Manabu. "Is murder legal here?"
"Obviously not."
"Hmmm then why are they so scared?" Syl stroked his non-existent beard in deep thought.
The three older student weren't sure weather to be pissed or shocked when Sudo nodded along with Syl's question.
"Enough. What is the second form of compensation? I have other things to do." Manabu said.
Syl sighed. "Then 300,000 private points, just 100,000 each."
"300,000! That's way to much!"
Syl nodded. "You're right. Half a million is better."
"That's more!"
"Hmm then only 600,000. A measly 200,000 per person."
"That's insane! Do you know how much that is?"
"Just two months worth of private points."
"No it's not! Only class A has over 1000 class points! That's 4 months worth for us!"
Syl smiled. "Is that so? Then assuming that we will have 1000 class points by the end of the month is a bad idea…"
Chasibara was watching this with excitement. This kid figured out so much already. He was a natural! He really might bring her to class A! She quickly noted that she needed to test other promising students and possibly build up a force.
"We'll do 300,000 points! But that's all we can do!"
"Hmmm. No. 400,000 is the lowest I'll go."
The three grit their teeth. "Fine."
Syl smiled. "Great! See you all later!"
He stood up and left. He was super excited to get home.
On his way back he noticed a notification he missed earlier.
[Ding! Host helped Ayanokoji Kiyotaka with his goal to learn about normal high school students. Reward x1 spin.]
'Cool!'
[Spinning…]
[Ding! Host has received (Pink bunny slippers) x1]
Syl was shocked. He looked around before taking them out of his system storage and putting them on.
"Hahaha! These are great! So comfy!"
He walked home happily.
